DC was able to make it back on Saturday, but that was about it. Due to his earlier injury, health issues and his dog Tacoma that ate some chicken from the trash can, he didn't make it back on Sunday. Good news is that Tacoma passed the bones, he CHECKED!!! - ewwwwww.

DC added a bit of flair to his cosplay this year with a silver wig. But between you and me, he looks the same :^) HE came with his trusty bag on wheels so as to have everything he needed handy for the convention.

He did get a chance to once again meet his 'Queen' at this SDCC. Of course I am talking about Yaya Han. Of all the things he looks forward to, it is meeting her each year. It never surprises me what he has up (or on his sleeve) for her each year. He always gets the chance to talk with her and get a couple pics taken - LUCKY DUDE!

DC's chant: "LONG LIVE OUR QUEEN YAYA THE FIRST! RULE QUEEN YAYA!"

Besides meeting Yaya, he also got a change to meet some Furries. Here is what he passed along to me:

"Met a Couple in Their Furry Uniform for Con. I know you said one. Dabs + my Card were passed. Want to see you at Lake Murry meet meet up! E-Mail me!Saw their Meetup in The Reader. They sound Bitch'in group!"

He also got some shots for you motor-heads out there. It seemed that Hot Wheels and DC went all out for this show. Check out the Batman/Superman car below. How many of you want to take this out for a 'Sunday Drive'?

He did meet another queen however, but did his respective duty and bowed before her.

That kind of wraps up this years fun and we can't wait until next years report!

Oh - WAIT - almost forgot the crazies that come to SDCC. Of course, we can't forget the 'Holier than Thou' peeps. Here is a nice photo of them to keep up with traditions. But DC did have some back up to keep them at bay too (second photo).

Just got an email from DC to update everyone about yesterday and provide his first photos.

His injury was due to exiting one of the Trolleys going home. This was due to his hands being full with stuff he bought (see last post). He knows better now to pace himself, but was too pumped up from his meeting at the Lion Forge booth. They are the publisher that did the Yaya Han comic and he wanted to show them what he had done.

Well, let him describe it in his own words (slight edits here and there):

Yesterday, marched right to Lion Forge booth and intro myself. This very nice lady took my card with GREAT INTEREST, listening to me. Apparently she and the Queen had a idea. When lined up to meet + greet her, you say Queen Yaya, you get a free t-shirt. Well, I had all ready said that in my own way and she loved it.

I was presented with said T-Shirt, HER CAM PHONE, (and got sent RIGHT TO YAYA HERSELF > I DID NOT KNOW), was told Yaya would be there Sat. 3:00 pm., and would sing it. I got center attention like...."the most interesting man in the world!".

May I take a picture of your Yaya Tat? Sure. BOOM again to the Queen. Suddenly I was handed a cell. YEP! THEE QUEEN HERSELF! She RAVED about me and her TAT on ME!

DON'T GET BETTER THAN THAT!

As you can see, he had a very eventful first day ad SDCC 2015. I have no idea how the hell he will beat that, but I am sure he will on Saturday. Now for some convention shots of cosplayers that DC had sent along

SDCC 2015 Cosplayers

Can't wait to see what happens on the rest of the SDCC as reported by DC, stay tuned!!

Wanted to drop a note to say that DC is out and about at SDCC 2015. He worked hard to get those damn tickets and is making sure to make everyday count. I think however, he needs to take it easier as he has already taken a 'hit'.
He had a spill and cut himself while getting back yesterday OUCH!!!. Don't worry though as this VET of VIETNAM isn't one to let a 'scratch' keep he from moving forward.You can't keep a good man down and DC is the best of the best.

Like anyone at the con this weekend, he has already started making purchases early to get the best stuff. Though my tactic is to wait until the end to make big purchases, that isn't DC's style. GRAB 'EM BEFORE THEY ARE GONE is his style.

I asked for a "Samurai Gundam (cheap)" if he saw something. I made sure to say 'cheap' as I just wanted something small since I couldn't be there. Here is what he picked up for me (which was WAYYYYYYYY FUCKING overboard). As you can see, he picked me up a MBF-P02 Gundam Astray Red Frame Perfect Grade. Seriously though, this has to be the coolest gift anyone could get as it is nothing I would every buy myself. Now where to find the time to build it?? How will I keep my son from trying to get into it too?

Here is what he has picked up for himself so far which is just as cool. This is a 1/250 scale version of the Firefly that can be opened up to see the inside. I loved the Firefly series and this would be an awesome addition to anyone's collection. The Serenity has to be one of the coolest TV/Movies spaceships around. Keep'em flying Browncoats!!

Well, that is all we have for now, but I can guarantee more excitement to come. Especially the cool thing that DC wants to show everyone, especially Yaya. It is the one way that someone could to be immortalized by someone else.
